    The first time we said hello, was the first time we said goodbye. As the angels took your tiny hand and flew you to the sky-you forever left us breathless. RIP my beautiful granddaughter :(

    Hi All :),

    I need a stiff drink....

    Ps. Is that sky BB £10 all in??
    The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.

    Bat changed over and got a bit of a speed boost, but only to about 4-5 Meg I think.

    I'm on a LLU exchange, a quite newly wired line, and less that 1km from the exchange.

    But there is no peak time or protocol throttling on sky (yet), and the max package has no official usage cap (unofficial = 250 Gig per month).

    I am on the 10mb package too but I cant get that - I get about 4-5, which is still twice as fast for a third less than AOhell.

    Plus my phone with them for £5 - free UK calls and calls to Dad in Spain at anytime was a lot better than I was paying BT £30 a month for. So altogether it saved me enough to get the basic TV. And Playhouse Disney is the best thing since sliced bread.........!!!!

    Yep. I'd found that tip. :confused:

    I've a feeling that if there are drivers for XP and Linux for the hardware on this machine, I'll be wiping the disk and getting rid of Vista.
